Patrick Cantlay tee times: When will defending champion tee off at the BMW Championship Round 1?

Patrick Cantlay had an impressive start to the FedEx Cup Playoffs. The golfer entered a playoff with eventual winner Lucas Glover in the final round of the FedEx St. Jude Championship. Cantlay lost the designated event, but his round of 6 under 64 in Memphis is applause-worthy.

The American now enters the second event of the FedEx Cup Playoffs, the 2023 BMW Championship, hoping for a better outcome. The golfer will tee off at 10:54 AM ET with Max Homa. He’ll follow the pairing of Russell Henley and Nick Taylor and will be followed by the pairing of Rory McIlroy and Glover teeing off at 11:10 AM ET.

It is pertinent to note that Patrick Cantlay is the defending BMW Championship champion. The winner of the 2022 edition of the event will be looking to defend his title successfully and has strong odds backing him. The golfer currently sits fifth on the FedEx Cup standings with 2,643, a place behind Glover.

It’ll be interesting to see if he manages another impressive finish this weekend at the Olympia Fields Country Club in Illinois and climb up the FedEx Cup points table before the ultimate Tour Championship.
